I have to say this is one of the best conceived and acted films I have watched in a long time; it seems as if it might transfer very well to the stage if someone wanted to bother. What I must comment on is the classification of "comedy". Perhaps for singles or people that are disillusioned with relationships and parenthood, this might seem funny, but if you are a conscientious parent or in a willingly committed relationship, this was far from funny. Every single one of the characters were well-acted and very believable so that I saw very close similarities from my own social circle and the subject matter was very dark. I would classify this as "drama" and remove the "comedy" tag.

I've seen all of the actors in other movies before and I wasn't disappointed to see them now, but I cannot get by the fact that everyone in this movie was completely selfish. I watch movies to escape real life, the last thing I need to see is people being horrible to each other and claiming to actually love them while doing it. What a depressing state if this is how Hollywood sees us

Wouldn't call it brilliant but over-all it was a nice little movie. I was surprised at the low rating then I remembered that people tend to lie action and suspense and crazy twists and turns. Well this movie has none of that but shows how REAL life is. Coming of middle age and sacrafices people make.

Great acting..

over all

6.8

At the core of this movie is a struggle between people's ideas about the world and their actual application. At the same time, it is asking what do we as human beings really want? And what does that cost? Sure, something may sound good, but will it make you happy? As a man, I chose to watch this movie without trying to take a side, but there where interesting points made by both sides. There was also an interesting male perspective presented in the film. The music and the acting is fantastic. And even though I thought she was underutilized, Anna Camp rocked the ditzy blonde who is actually kind of deep. A word of warning This movie is more of a slow burn, and I am not going to lie; the first half is a little over the top and kind of drags. But once Anna Camp hits the screen, the slow burn really pays off. Also, the line "This is why every one hate liberals" is perfect as it shows the problems with both extreme progressives and liberal ideas in general. Plus, Anna Camp in Daisy Dukes is always a win.

This is an odd film about motherhood. Tina is a successful artist who invites her long time now-impregnant rival Karen, along with both their husbands, for a visit. The film tries to imitate the amazing "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf" (1968) but instead of having the complex, multi-layered and fascinating character of Martha, we get Tina, and instead of witty, absurd philocophical dialogue we get almost two hours of painful passive agressive behaviour that leads nowhere.

The characters never become real, and the plot quickly becomes a bore. It always seems like the plot is trying to get somewhere - but never does. That at least until the very end, when the film was finally abouy to get to a climax, only to end in a cliched way.

The film is not necessarily awful, though. There are some moments of joy and tension, even some pretty funny jokes. Sadly, they are not enough to make up for wierd narrative and the poorly written characters.
